    Had my P-45C for a year or so now. Bin size is too small and needs regularly emptying. Struggles to shred more than 2 sheets at a time and anything thicker than paper is a long drawn out affair. Shredding blades clog regularly and need clearing. This is a terrible piece of kit. Had two Fellowes shedders now and won't be buying another one.

    Absolutely dreadful shredder. Weak motor, hardly takes one or two sheets at a time, not 6, constantly jams, eventually one of the plastic cogs inside has broken, after the housing sheared off and it filled its sealed electrical area with shredder paper. Yes, it feels solid, but its total rubbish.

    The Fellowes P45C is extremely poor quality. Says it shreds 6 pieces of paper at a time - it struggles with two pieces. It was bought for domestic use and I'm extremely disappointed in this shredder, clogs up after every couple of shreds and refuses to do anything. A waste of time and money, using scissors would probably be quicker than this bulky, heavy piece of junk.

    Had my Fellowes P45C for just over 3yrs but used very little about 3 months constant use over 3yr period (it really was hardly used for domestic use) broke when fed 4 sheets of A4 paper. The thing is out of warranty now having to replace. Considering how little it was used its very disappointing. Only get it if it is given to you for free otherwise invest in a pair of scissors.

    The Fellowes P45C will only shred 1 piece of paper at a time. Anymore it jams, very poor value

    I've had mine for nearly 2 years of occasional use, cannot add more than 2 pieces of paper at a time and usually clogs up after about 15 pages. A gear has now broken and left it unusable, no spares are available from Fellowes.I wouldn't recommend it

    Slow, cannot seem to to shred more than 1 piece of paper at a time. Constantly jams and broke after a few weeks of use. Now gone through my 3rd one of these plus 1 of the P55 which is no better in my opinion.

    I bought this to use in a small home office. It only (just) shreds one sheet at a time and struggles with envelopes. When it jams it can take ages to unblock. It finally broke on me today despite constant oiling, when the plastic teeth above the cogs shattered and jammed inside it. Its going straight in the bin! I've only used it 3 or 4 times!

    Would not recommend this shredder. I'm surprised that anyone would market such a poor unit. It appears to tear the paper rather than shred it.
    This shredder was used lightly in our home, not an office.

    My Fellowes paper shredder jammed after feeding 3-4 single sheets. Same result after exchanging the first unit for a new one.

    Slow, heavy, and can hardly deal with one sheet effectively. A complete waste of money in my opinion. Not fit for purpose.

    Don' t ever get it clogged up. It will self destruct the plastic frame of 'fingers' which house the rotary cutters.

    My Fellowes P45C doesn't shred more than one piece of paper at a time.
    Continually jamming.
    Makes makes snapping plastic sound when run in reverse to clear
    Difficult to clear. Stay away from this thing at any price. Not worth it, you will end up throwing it away.

    We are on our third one of these at work. Two of these started to run very slowly and noisily. The first one I threw out and replaced it with an identical one which has now gone the same way. At first I assumed that I was unlucky or had overworked the first one (I've never put more than 4 sheets through at once), but now I must conclude that it is not suitable for the 4 or 5 sheets I put through it on an average day. We do have one of these machines that is performing as expected though, but I a ...

    I also have had 2 of these shredders, both of which jammed after a short period of time despite lubricating as stated. I would not recommend the Fellowes P45C paper shredder at all.

    I have now had two of these. The first was replaced by the manufacturer as it started to make very loud cracking sounds and just stopped working despite constant cleaning. The second one has gone the same way. Claims to shred up to six sheets at a time - no way, getting one through without it stopping was rare. Now looking for a new reliable shredder.
